Biblioteq Ads: Feel Inspired

This is a very interesting ad for Biblioteq using the tag line, “Feel inspired. Biblioteq - Creative Books”.

In the first stencil image, we can see a piece of beef being fed to a carnivorous plant inside the hollowed out face of a woman. The second image shows the hollow face of a baby with a lit candle and somebody’s hand holding a gasoline pump to it. The third and fourth images show similar themes of a need, or hunger, being fulfilled.

It’s kind of disturbing, but interesting.

lol, sure, I am trying. But I thought that's the purpose/job of a trend, to explain them :)

Folks can figure stuff out for themselves without being patronized to death. I don't believe in necessarily explaining in minute details every thing all the time. These are adults and some times some things boil down to a matter of interpretation and somebody else's interpretation is as good as mine.

Hehe, you guys are funny! But honestly, I don't understand these ads either! Which is why I guess I'm so intrigued by them!

its not only me and you Bianca, adrants have a WTF post about them( see here ). But lourdes thinks its "patronizing" to explain. Ah well as long as adrants agreed with me, my question was well justified, lol

Its not rocket science guys. Besides, when I go to the museum I'll be damned if I understand what the hell was going through Jackson Pollock's head when he set out to paint all that crap. But I just enjoy the crap anyway. My point is ...what the hell was my point? ayMan you're driving me to drink!
